CLUBS SERVED PLUMB CRUMBLE

tHe Premier League’s legal chief Kevin Plumb is emerging as the sport’s version of donald rumsfeld.

In a letter to clubs last month regarding the need for the Premier League board to be given emergency powers to be triggered by force majeure events, Plumb wrote ‘we do now know what we do not know’, an evocative turn of phrase with echoes of the former Us defence secretary’s infamous reference to ‘unknown unknowns’ when asked about the evidence for Iraq assembling weapons of mass destruction in 2002.
